Time Zero Coastal Monitoring
TZ Coastal Monitoring is a coastal surveillance solution that incorporates FURUNO RADAR with TZ Coastal Monitoring software and systems.
With the technical partnership and expertise between FURUNO and TIMEZERO, the Solution provides the best of coastal monitoring for any oil rig, sea farm, port, waterside facility and protected area.
FEATURES
RADAR
TimeZero Coastal Monitoring possesses all the features required to make the system perfectly-adapted for use on oil and gas platforms. Surveillance and security are extremely important on these sites and this all-in-one solution will make it as easy as possible to constantly monitor traffic in the area.
TZ Coastal Monitoring lets users fully monitor an entire area around the platform. Long-distance approaching threats from pirates, terrorists or out of control vessels near shipping lanes can be identified by your radar system. This provides the time needed to prepare and call for action if needed.
ARPA/AIS TARGETS
AIS and ARPA targets are displayed directly on your software screen, making it as easy as possible to track any targets that appear suspicious. AIS targets can be picked up by the software up to a distance of 50NM. According to the size and power of the Radar Antenna, ARPA targets can be reliably detected and tracked up to 10NM away (depending on weather conditions).
ALARM
It is easy to set up a custom-configured advanced alarm system that will alert you to potential dangers. Certain areas on your nautical chart can be marked as “no enter” zones and various guard zones can be set up around your oil or gas rig to protect against out of control vessels.
TZ Coastal Monitoring features the extremely useful concept of the “AIS Directory and Classification” which is a list containing all vessels that are known to you and considered safe. These are trusted vessels that can be set up to not trigger any alarm, reducing the false alarm rate that can be highly distracting to the operator.
RECORD AND REPLAY MODULE
If an unknown vessel is detected and has entered your configured boundary zone, an alarm will sound, instantly notifying you of the approaching vessel, and camera(s) can be automatically pointed at the target. This gives you the time to make contact with the boat and instruct them to change course. In the case of an eventual breach, the events will be clearly visible on your camera and can be also recorded for future reference with the option: Record and Replay Module.
WEATHER
TZ Coastal Monitoring includes free and unlimited weather forecast downloads, which can be regularly updated for any area of the world. This makes it easy to stay informed of weather forecasts, including wind, wave and precipitation which may affect your oil or gas rig operation. Wind sensors can also be connected to your Coastal Monitoring system so that you can view real-time wind data directly on your software screen.
Should bad weather force an evacuation of the platform, an optional remote station can be installed on shore to view and control the system remotely.
